Bash bar nearly completed

August 24th, 2010

So I stopped by the shop today and Danny had a big grin on his face.  I walked into the back to find the top part of the bash bar being completed.  It bolts onto the factory location and basically holds the bumper up!  The bar is almost completed but it is getting some more [...]

I got the new rear pair of RSs put together tonight with the help of my friend Andrew.  The sealant should be fully cured this time tomorrow, so I will try and get the tires mounted on Saturday morning.  Hopefully I did everything properly and they’ll hold air just fine.
Big thanks to Sage Auto for [...]

Its IN!

June 8th, 2010

Huge huge HUGE thanks to Raz and his girlfriend for getting this thing in my car today while I was at work!  He said he didn’t have anything else to do…so I showed up, bolted up the transmission mount and got the car back on the ground to check out how it sat.  It settled [...]

Last week I was able to get some help from my friend Raz and got most of the motor assembled and ready to go.  We hit a whole lot of snags, namely getting ahold of the stupid 8mm bolts that are 5 inches long that go into the back of the oil pan and tracking [...]

New Lippppppsssss

I got my new wheel lips in the mail today for my second set of RSs!  A perfect birthday present to come home to after work.

OK, so I was going to go to bed early tonight but I came home and found a package sitting on the table……………………. It was my shock mount spherical bearings!!!  I happened to get my uprights back from welding yesterday, so you can bet your ass I was ready to get this crap back together [...]

This Weekend

April 26th, 2010

Well, I would have loved to have gotten more shit done, but I’m happy that I at least got to work on it and get some progress.
My friend came by and put my crank pulley on and showed me the proper way to install the rockers.  During the week I had been scrubbing the crap [...]

Door Panels

April 13th, 2010

I have wanted to do a paisley print door panel insert for a while now.  I’ve had the fabric and backing sitting in my room for a few months now and decided I wanted to get creative tonight rather then just mindlessly cut and bolt things.
It took about an hour and a half to do [...]

Pulled the fenders more…

February 7th, 2010

I wanted to see what if I could fit my wheels at nearly 0 camber so I decided I could get a decent measurement with the free level app on my iPod, haha.
Before I did anything:

The camber reading:

Jacked up:

That camber reading:

During the process:

Camber reading in the air after adjustment:

On the ground:

It hits in one small [...]

Test Fit

January 16th, 2010

I slapped the fenders and bumper on before I loaded the car on the trailer and moved it to my new place.  The fenders are resting on the car and the bumper is somehow resting on the fenders, haha.
